In this sequel to "Meet The Parents" Greg Focker faces a difficult task: he must now introduce the straight-laced Byrnes family to his wholly unconventional and totally eccentric parents. Ex-CIA agent Jack Byrnes and his wife travel to Florida to take a look at the people who had called their son Gaylord M. Focker. As the critics soundly state, the cast of the movie is brilliant (as well as in the previous one), but the movie itself is more contrived and predictable, and a lot less fun than the original. "The casting is grand, but one wishes more thought was put into the script". |
